that’s not a question, Lady Gaga, is what President Obama should have said…
Monday, 26. September 2011
President Barack Obama is in the Bay Area to do get a bunch of rich liberals to give him money. Well, not give, they got to have dinner with him for $35,800. That’s a stupid amount of money, and I don’t mean “stupid” like expensive, I mean it’s kind of random. Why not round that down to an even $35,000, or up to $40,000? I bet some douche-bag campaign adviser put a lot thought into this; we’d like to get $35,000, but I bet we could get more, but probably not $36,000, hmm, how about $35,500? - to which Obama hopefully said, “I don’t give a shit, they’ll pay whatever we ask… Let’s do $35,800, so it seems like there’s a reason.
One of those rich people was Lady Gaga. And apparently there’s a Q&A portion of the dinner, which if you don’t know means Question and Answer. The only reason I say that is because I’m not sure Lady Gaga knows, from this story:
According to a source present in the tent fundraiser, Gaga asked a question during the Q&A. She first thanked the president for what he’s accomplished, then read from what she said was a letter from a fan about the suicide of another fan who had been subjected to bullying.
She thanked Obama for hosting his anti-bullying conference with Michelle Obama, and then made a general plea to everyone in the room, including the president, to do what they can to prevent bullying.
Obama – And what’s your question, Miss Gaga? Did anyone get a question? Uh, do you just want me to talk about bullying? Okay, I guess I can do that.
Obama thanked her, spoke about his administration’s anti-bullying campaign, and then more generally about the importance of values and who we are as Americans.
This all sounds like a really good use of a President’s time.
